Importance of House Numbers During an Emergency

House numbers are not only convenient for finding addresses but necessary for emergency responders to locate those in need. Minutes matter so be sure that fire, ambulance, and police personnel can quickly find your address. It is important to have the correct address number visible on your house , as well as your mailbox. 

Do your part to help yourself and have your house numbers displayed near the front door, under a light in a size and color that is easily visible from the street.  If you live in a rural area maintain your house number sign that is near your driveway. Don’t let it get covered with snow this winter.

If the numbers on your house are not visible or easy to read, it will take emergency personnel longer to reach you. Those extra minutes spent trying to locate a property can mean the difference between life and death, so take the time now to be sure your house numbers may be seen from the street.

Residents of New York will need a REAL ID or Enhanced ID to board an airplane starting May 7, 2025

New York residents will need an enhanced driver’s license or a REAL ID compatible driver’s license by May 7, 2025, if they want to use it to get on a domestic flight, enter certain federal buildings, or enter military bases. With that in mind, it is highly recommended that New Yorkers who plan to travel upgrade from a standard driver’s license to a REAL ID or enhanced license. Get it sooner, rather than later.

A New York’s REAL ID driver’s license has a star in the upper right corner to indicate that it meets federal regulations that establish minimum security standards. The enhanced driver’s license has a U.S. flag on the bottom right of the license.

For more information and details about how to obtain a REAL ID driver's license or identification card in New York, and to determine which form of ID is right for you, visit the New York State DMV website.     You can also visit the TSA website for more detailed information about traveling with a REAL ID.
